Regardless if you're in a one weight era or not IMO beating the linear champ might make you the champ, but not necesarily the undisputed champion, you have to do something to consolidate it. Maybe in the old days if you cleared out most the opposition BEFORE your shot, and then beat the linear champ then you would be undisputed champ, like when Frazier beat Ali. If Haye were to get lucky and KO Wlad in his second fight at Heavy he doesn't automatically become THE man.
That's why I'd knd of like to see Joe V Dawson as he would consolidate his position as a genuine two weight champ, but obviously he'd have to weigh up the risk as the possibility of losing his 0 may be too much, especially if he's unmotivated.
My point was - Calzaghe doesn't need a poxy alphabet to be recognised as a two weight champion.
He is the man that beat the man.
Dawson is currently the best lightheavy. Calzaghe is currently the lightheavy champion. So naturally that is the best fight available to enhance both fighters reputation.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
